Sheepshead
Though Dundee is inland, accessing saltwater for Sheepshead is readily achievable. Head east towards the Space Coast and the Indian River Lagoon, or west toward Tampa Bay. Sheepshead thrive around structure like docks, bridges, and oyster bars. The winter months, particularly January and February, are prime time when they congregate to spawn. For a land-based option, try fishing around the pilings of the bridges along the causeways in Tampa Bay. A small fiddler crab or shrimp presented on a jig head is deadly. Local Sheepshead are notorious for their subtle bites, so pay close attention to your line. Also, be aware of barnacles on the structure, as they can easily fray your line. Using a heavier leader is recommended.
